We recently had dinner at Clay Oven. It’s one of our favourite restaurants. The owner is always very welcoming. And the food absolutely delicious! Their garlic naan is mouth watering.
I recommend eating here with your family. They can make the spice level kid-friendly! 😀🥘🍚❤️

Imagine coming home from a long trip and being welcomed back by your family with incredible food. That is what it's like going to Indian Punjabi Clay Oven.
My wife and I came here for the Christmas Eve dinner buffet and it was incredible! This was the best food I have had in a long, long time. The owner and chef meticulously crafts each dish to have the perfect blend of spices, heat, and texture.
Speaking of texture - the naan bread was lightly crispy on...

It is not a fancy restaurant but it is clean. The service was great. The food earned all five stars. For the quality of the food the price was quite reasonable. You can specify how hot you would like it. Happy to recommend the Punjabi Clay Oven.
